Dental Care Plus group has a 6 month waiting period on basic services and a 12 month wait on major services. You will not see a more comprehensive basic service coverage with any other plan. What many companies deem a Major service, DCPG has it under Basic. Please contact me for rates & details. One of the best network of dentists to be found in OH, KY, & IN.

- National General offers a variety of PPO Dental Insurance plans along with a discount plan utilizing Aetna Dental provider network. They offer a variety of plans with coverage starting day 1.
Dental Discount Plans
- Dental Discount plans are available in all 50 states for individuals, families and groups. Discount plans are not insurance, but give you access to the network discounts from 10%-60% on most procedures. Remember, you must use in-network providers. A few of the best features; no waiting periods, annual maximums and plans can start the next day. I reference these as the Costco or Sam's Club of dental savings. The annual membership is usually under $200 for a family. Ask me about discount codes before enrolling.
Usual & Customary Fee (PPO vs HMO)
Dental charges are Usual and customary for the area where such expenses are incurred. You are responsible for any coinsurance and the required deductible. It is important to note that if you have a PPO plan and choose to go to a non-network provider, your out-of-pocket costs will be based on the Usual & Customary charge. Anything your dentist might charge over that fee is your responsibility. With an HMO, you MUST use Dentists in the network.

Never cancel your current policy until your new policy is effective. Any changes to your health prior to coverage taking place needs to be reported to the insurance company, which may result in a policy not being issued.
The insurance company compensates me by helping you find a plan. Most importantly, I will never sell a policy based off an incentive or higher commission. I am a one person agency, you always get me when you call, text or email. I will not sell, solicit or share your information with any outside sources other than what may be involved with applying for coverage with a carrier and their privacy practices.
